Complete contact list of our 2017 Spring Conference attendees

Thank you for supporting the IFASC. To enhance your exhibit effort, above is the link for a complete contact list, including email addresses, of our Spring Conference attendees. Please, be aware that the IFASC provides this with the expectation that you do not make use of or share this information for reasons other than to continue your business relationship with these conference attendees. This list is not for sale or redistribution without the written permission of each listed individual.

We have reviewed evaluations submitted by the ASC attendees. Of note are the expressions of pleasure regarding the variety of vendor exhibitors. Special thanks were directed at and for the extra contributions and raffle prizes that you put forth! By the way, here is an interesting thought for the future, due to the IFASC no longer providing paper handouts covering the speakers' presentations: the ASC attendees use their electronic devices to view this material posted in the IFASC website. Portable phone chargers, approximate cost $5, might be a considered “give away” at future conferences.

Even if you are not connected to Intalere as your GPO solutions provider, this information will benefit your facility by showing you best practices for connecting with your current GPO. Erika Johnson, Account Manager, Great Lakes, has over ten years of experience with multiple GPOs and can help you navigate through the changes that many of you are experiencing with the dissolution and transformation of the major GPO partners for surgery centers (MedAssets, Novation (Vizient), Intalere and Premier).
